Now the package.chances gets some new lines: ===== 2012-08-28 update to version 2.4.5 * this obsoletes OSS patch1 and patch3 * this obsoletes SLE patch4 * generic (non-distro) patches [2,5,7] are obsolete * gcc 4.5 and clang 3.1 are now fully supported. * NEW patch8 b/c of off-by-one error in main.c =====
Ask yourself: is this info in: * NEWS (from upstream) - NO * Changelog (also upstream) - NO * package.spec - Not reliable and not visible from outside
Or ask: this is Joe TheEndUser, just a normal average enduser, really cares or knows about the OSS patch1 and patch3 or SLE patch4 These should be in the SR request or better in the checkin phase where it makes sense to the maintainer/reviewer to have such info at hand I hope Andreas Jaeger is following this thread as this is exactly what I mean with the decision process I asked couple of days ago. First someone comes and says hey this is the decision and then people start discussing the cons and pros of the decision, much like Stuttgart 21 if you know what I mean.
